Doing Good to All
6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye
which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of
meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of
Christ.
6:3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is
nothing, he deceiveth himself.
6:4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he
have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
6:5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
6:6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him
that teacheth in all good things.
6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a
man soweth, that shall he also reap.
6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap
corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the
Spirit reap life everlasting.
6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due
season we shall reap, if we faint not.
6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto
all men, especially unto them who are of the household of
faith.
Not Circumcision but the
New Creation
6:11 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with
mine own hand.
6:12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh,
they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should
suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
6:13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep
the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may
glory in your flesh.
6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross
of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified
unto me, and I unto the world.
6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any
thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
6:16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be
on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
6:17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in
my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
6:18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
your spirit. Amen. |
